    Nobody saying it's a miracle. Just saying there's no reason not to play a couple of games when we can't win a few straight

    Btw, wasn't you that was preaching that as long as LeBron/AD were healthy, we would win games at a high clip?

    We should, that's why somebody has to go, but it won't be Ham first.

    That’s the 2023 regular season, check the playoff net rating which is as large a sample size as the 2023 regular season. Barely positive, and negative if you include the play-in game. Plus it was already trailing off at the end of the regular season after a hot start.

    Playoffs are ALWAYS played differently. Teams scheme against you and make adjustments. That's the whole beauty of playoff basketball. It's a known fact.
    So yes, it's something we can revisit in the playoffs.
    But now, with regular season games, I would go with the lineup it got us there last time. Try 5 games, if it doesn't work we go another way. What's there to lose? We are already losing games lol

    I think we're just going to disagree on this one. I think that lineup is a known commodity with a low ceiling. I don't think it puts LeBron and AD in a position to succeed by clogging the lane, and I don't think it puts Vando in a position to succeed by having him stand in the corner and try to fight over high ball screens in drop coverage. I think he thrives in switchier lineups with more frontcourt spacing (i.e., Wood at the 5).

    If bringing Prince off the bench is just out of the question (which seems to be the case), I personally would start DLo/Max/Prince/LeBron/AD. I'm ready to take the training wheels off the kid and give him all of Cam's minutes.

    Did not see this coming… not to say we should go after Griffin, but man I’m jealous that the Bucks are willing to make such a drastic move this late into the season…

    They did this as they are the 2nd seed. Meanwhile, leadership here basically told Ham he's good.

    Let's be honest. Jeanie Buss is too cheap to fire a coach with multiple years left on his contract again.

    Pack his f***ing bags and ship him back to Milwaukee please.

    He's lucky that LeBron is sitting out tonight...a blowout with a full strength roster on national television would have been disastrous for Ham.

    Now that we're short-handed, we'll lose and he'll have the built-in excuse of "no lebron"

    We can't seem to catch a break meanwhile a top 5 team in the league at 30-13 is firing their coach. Unbelievable man

    This is the difference between a mom and pop operation (Lakers) and a team that's run like a corporation (Bucks). It's all about results...only in this weird instance, the results were pretty good with Adrian Griffin but maybe they think another coach can squeeze MORE out of the roster...?

    IF that person is Doc Rivers though...then IDK what the hell the Bucks are doing or what their expectations are. They're right where I thought they would be and they're slightly better than last year's mark I believe?
